• Changes in turbulent mixing shift competition for light between phytoplankton species (2004, background): “Generally speaking, diatoms and green algae seem better adapted to fluctuating light conditions experienced in well-mixed waters than buoyant cyanobacteria (Ibelings et al. 1994, Flameling and Kromkamp 1997, Litchman 2000).”
• Effects of thermocline deepening on lake plankton communities (2011, background): “Deeper thermoclines may favour species that are less sensitive to large fluctuations in light levels, as is the case for certain chlorophyte and diatom species (Litchman 2000).”
• Water color affects the stratification, surface temperature, heat content, and mean epilimnetic irradiance of small lakes (2006, background): “Theoretical and empirical work has shown that mean epilimnetic irradiance, a function of light extinction and mixing depth, can affect various aspects of phytoplankton dynamics and community structure, including species diversity, total density, total biomass, and production (Litchman 2000; Millard ”
